Up there cackling away at me

Great names.

That’s late to be on the move. I have not seen much movement here. Likely sue to the very mild Autumn there has been.

I've also not seen any of note so far this year.

Hubby is talking to him about it now. I'm far too upset to be coherent.

Oh my gosh. I'm so very sorry. This breaks my heart.

So sad. It’s always the favorites. Poor Cinnabun and you too.

I was shocked by 2 things. 1. Their altitude and 2. Their numbers.

Time of migration not so much. Some years, they're still heading south in mid December.

Altitude means actually migrating, not going from lake to lake or field to field but trying to log some miles. They like a good tailwind, so we had Canadian Geese migrating South late last week when we finally got a good North wind. Good numbers, in two long lines like threads in the sky.
A few days ago we had about 15-20 flying low by here late afternoon, so there I would speculate they were just going from a daytime feeding field to their roosting location for the night.

They aren’t dressed up as Ren-Faire characters!

They had to sneak in to gain entrance

Yep doggie should be tied up.

Even if it’s your parents’ dog.

Meanwhile a huge bear hug for you.

(And a kick in the derrière for the mutt)

Some dogs are fairly natural flock-temperament pups... but some need very consistent training which a lot of owners can't be bothered concerning the damage their canines can/& do to neighbors. Must be particularly tough when it's a family member's pup !

Speaking of issues............

I have started Niamh back on Baytril. Today is day 3 of her tail being down and there is lime green in her poo again like last time.

This is her after being in the house for over 30 minutes. She looks like she does not feel well.

Nothing like a sick chicken for the holidays.

Wishing good thoughts, Niamh
